 | Aufgabe |  | Identify the main clauses of the sentences. for the subordinate clauses (finite and non-finite ones) decide wherther they are nominal (subject, object, complement clause), adverbial (of time/place/ manner/ condition/ cause/ concession/ purose/ participle)
 or relative (part of a noun phrase) clauses. If a sentence contains several subordinate
 clauses, you are expected to analyse all of them.
 
 1)Dr. Miller finally came back in the afternoon and I got to talk to him.
 
 2)I just sat nodding my head in Dr. Miller's office so I wouldn't habe to open my mouth.
 
 3)I think I really am losing my mind.
 
 4) Oh nobody would believe anyone could be that dumb.
 
 5) I can hardly believe it myself even when I know it's true.

 Hallo,
 
 könntet ihr mir bei der Aufgabe vielleicht etwas helfen? Habe es zwar versucht glaube aber nicht das sie richtig ist:
 
 1) main clause (subject clause) -> "Dr. Miller finally came back"
 "in the afternoon" -> adverbial of time
 "I got to talk" -> main clause
 "to him" -> nominal clause (object)
 
 2) "I just sat nodding my head" -> main clause
 "in Dr. Miller's office -> adverbial of place
 "so I wouldn't have to open my mouth -> adverbial of cause or relative clause?
 
 3)"I think" -> main clause
 "I"  -> nominal clause (of subject)
 "really am losing my mind" -> relative clause
 
 4) "Oh nobody would believe" -> main clause
 "anyone could be that dumb" ->nominal clause (object)
 
 e) "I can hardly believe it myself" -> adverbial of condition
 "even when" -> ??
 "I know it's true" -> main clause
